Thursday Night Lights tells the inspiring, largely unknown story of African American high school football in Texas. Drawing on interviews, newspaper stories, and memorabilia, Michael Hurd introduces the players, coaches, schools, and towns where African Americans built powerhouse football programs under the PVIL leadership. He covers 50 years (1920-1970) of high school football history.

Elaine Sciolino came to Paris as a young foreign correspondent and was seduced by a river. In The Seine, she tells the story of that river from its source on a remote plateau of Burgundy to the wide estuary where its waters meet the sea, and the cities, tributaries, islands, ports, and bridges in between.

In order to mate in the same freshwater stream where it was spawned, the salmon swims 1,000 miles or more and overcomes countless obstacles, from trawling nets to 12-foot-high waterfalls. To catch the King of Fish at the end of its incredible journey, the Anglo-Saxon angler subjects his pride, his bank account, and his taste buds - poached milk, anyone? - to similar dangers. Nine out of 10 salmon do not make it back to the sea once their spawning run is finished; nine out of 10 sportsmen return to the hotel empty handed when the fishing day is done.

100 Years of Leeds United tells the story of a one-club city and its unique relationship with its football team. Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has seen more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 70s, clinching the last Division One title prior to the Premier League's inauguration in 1992, before a spectacular fall from grace at the start of the 21st century. United remains one of the best supported, and most divisive, clubs in football, with supporters’ clubs dotted across the globe.

El St. Pauli es la constatación de que otra forma de entender el mundo y el fútbol es posible. Es romanticismo en estado puro y es lo más similar al fútbol de barrio, a aquel fútbol popular que nuestros bisabuelos contemplaban desde las gradas cien años atrás. La forma de ser del FCSP ha hecho que personas de cualquier punto del mundo utilicen la bandera y el escudo en los movimientos sociales en los que participan. El año que viene seguirá en la segunda división alemana, pero sus escudos estarán por toda Europa en primera línea de las protestas.

Percy Tau grew up with seven siblings and a single mom in the mining town of Witbank. For Percy and his family, life is tough, as their mother struggles to make ends meet. But there is one thing that brings the Tau boys together: soccer. At the Mmagobana Primary School, they quickly make a name for themselves on the soccer team. Despite the boys’ enthusiasm for the game, Percy’s mom is against him playing soccer. She wants him to get a ‘real job’ - after all, she doesn’t want to see her son struggle in life.

This is the story of Chad le Clos, Olympic gold medallist and record breaker, the swimmer with the never-say-die attitude. It all started on a beach in Durban: every Sunday, Bert and Geraldine le Clos would take their family to the seaside to spend a lazy afternoon at the beach. They soon realised that there was something special about their son: Chad, only eight years old, was a natural in the water. They couldn’t take their eyes off him as he kicked his little legs and fought off the giant waves that came crashing down.

After a decade of trying to become a mother - 11 rounds of unsuccessful IVF, multiple miscarriages and a pregnancy which proved almost fatal - Jessica Hepburn knew it was time to do something different. So she decided to swim the 21 miles across the English Channel - no easy feat, especially for someone with an aversion to exercise who couldn't swim very well.

El equipo de remo estadounidense que sorprendió al mundo y que transformó este deporte atrajo la atención de millones de personas.

Growing up in poverty in Limpopo, Caster’s early experiences at school are marked by many ups and downs: while her friends and family accept her for who she is, she is constantly bullied for her appearance. But she discovers soccer and immerses herself in the game - even making the boys’ team. It is only after she enrols at the University of Pretoria that her life changes completely.

Escrito en 1967, este manual indispensable contiene una sentencia reveladora: ¿este audiolibro no sirve para nada? Para nada que tenga que ver con aprender a jugar, dirigir o describir el fútbol de forma definitiva. El desconocimiento del legado del genial periodista argentino Dante Panzeri es tan grande como la cantidad de veces en que jóvenes y veteranos cronistas recurren a la “dinámica de lo impensado” para explicar el talento de jugadores como Messi, ciertos resultados asombrosos, o aquellos partidos que escapan a nuestra comprensión.

Lighthouses are striking totems of our relationship to the sea. For many, they encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose is much more utilitarian than that. Still today we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland, a ring of 19 towers built between 1811-1905, so called because they were constructed on desolate rock formations in the middle of the sea, and made of granite to withstand the power of its waves.

Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. This created the healthiest, most sustainable, and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology.

In Europe: A Natural History, world-renowned scientist, explorer, and conservationist Tim Flannery applies the eloquent interdisciplinary approach he used in his ecological histories of Australia and North America to the story of Europe. He begins 100 million years ago, when the continents of Asia, North America, and Africa interacted to create an island archipelago that would later become the Europe we know today. It was on these ancient tropical lands that the first distinctly European organisms evolved.

Dans "L'Intelligence des plantes", Stefano Mancuso prouvait que les plantes sont des êtres hors normes qui, bien qu’elles n'aient ni cerveau ni système nerveux central, sont capables de comprendre, de réagir et de s'adapter à leur environnement. Dans "La révolution des plantes", Mancuso pousse son analyse en révélant les capacités essentielles des plantes à innover, à se souvenir et à apprendre, capacités qui pourraient nous aider à trouver des solutions créatives aux problèmes technologiques et écologiques actuels.

Nous ne savons plus quoi manger ! Croquer une simple pomme, déguster une grappe de raisin nous apporte une dose de produits toxiques. Quant aux plats tout préparés que nous propose l'industrie agroalimentaire... Quelle est la nocivité exacte des pesticides, des insecticides et des additifs alimentaires que nous ingérons chaque jour sans le savoir ? Les OGM pressentent-ils un danger pour notre santé ? Peut-on accepter les conditions d'élevage industriel des animaux ? L'alimentation biologique est-elle à privilégier ?
